What makes a piece of media "sjw"? - No cis-scum allowed.

Just a question I've been pondering lately. For the last couple of years it seems that any piece of media headlining a minority of some sorts, whether it be a black or a gay or strong womyn, is automatically labeled as SJW trash or some other derogatory label. In most cases I'm not disagreeing with said label but recently I've been wondering how one of discerning tastes can tell the difference between the two.
 
It has to employ "the progressive stack" or the "Oppression Olympics". Basically, it has to be about more then one of the agreed upon "minority conditions", like a black woman, a trans female, or an autistic polyamourous otherkin. It also has to use terms like "overcoming" and "microtransgressions" and use the "power+prejudice=racism" equasion.

And blame the whites. And males. For everything.
 
When one looks for information about whoever is making the piece of media and see if they have any stereotypical SJW traits.

For me, it's poor writers trying to pass off shitty tokens as more interesting characters despite said characters learning and doing nothing of note.
Exactly! When a character is all about "being trans!!!" Or "being a strong black woman in a white man's world!!!" Or "being a gay teen at a hick high school!" It honestly let's me kniw it is gonna be boring. People have more to them then just being gay, or trans, or black, or white, or male or female. People are amazingly diverse, in their beliefs and opinions and likes and desires, even just between family members. Turning a character into a "One Issue Character" men as they have no depth beyond that one issue, and that the majority of the audience isn't going to be able to find parts of themself in the character, and that is what everyone looks for. A good character has depth. SJW characters dont. Shallower then a snakes teardrop. And twice as salty.
 
If I personally disagree with the opinion it’s sjw cuck garbage spreading an agenda.
I unironically believe this because the concept of race is retarded because to identify as a race is now to conform to the race's collective consciousness and massive collective consciousnesses, I believe, are a sign that we are still just apes diddling around, fucking everything that moves. Also SJWs fail to understand that if everyone mixes with everyone, then the concept of race becomes null and their identities become meaningless and archaic.
 
I think this is a pretty subjective question, but I'd personally say the obvious casting of non-white/female characters for no other reason than to fill a diversity quota to satisfy the snowflakes, rather than actually having compelling, well-written characters. The upcoming Terminator film looks like it'll be the latest disaster to fall victim to this.
 
A big red flag is when people who believe in the social justice ideology go on and on and on about how progressive something is, and only about how progressive it is. Another would be you go to watch something that seems like it should be normal and they start throwing social justice buzzwords and ideology around (made up genders, oppression, how cishet white men are the most evil thing ever, ect.).
 
I do want to add. Simply having a non-white/cis/het/or male lead or leads does NOT make media "SJW"... An example I always point to is "Star Trek: Deep Space 9." It's actually my favorite Trek, and Sisko is actually my favorite Trek captain.
I'm not black.
Part of why DS9 was so great, is that Sisko being black is almost never used as an excuse to make him "the black commander/captain"...

In 7 seasons, Sisko's skin color is only ever a major plot point in 2 related episodes... (Where he hallucinates that he is a man in the 1950's) And they smartly waited 6 seasons to even start that shit, and frankly it felt well-earned both times.
Nobody's perfect, there is one episode in late season 7 where Sisko goes off on a totally out of character rant about how racist the *real* version of an idealized holographic casino program *would have* been, and almost does not help his friends in the plot of the week because of this fact... It's totally cringe, and one of the worst parts of an otherwise solid show... thankfully, it is a *minor* plot point, and easily forgotten.
